Better Safe than Sorry – How to Identify Timeshare Resale Scams

Apr 19

Millions of people including some real estate investors have fallen prey to timeshare resale scams. Timeshares itself is a recipe for disaster. With depreciating time value of money, high maintenance fees and other unpleasant factors, timeshares can never be considered as an investment. Here are some signs which timeshare attorneys denote that you are dealing with a timeshare scam:

Overstated Claims:

There are several companies out there waiting to lure customers into timeshare schemes that sound too good to be true. Such sellers claim that timeshares are highly demanded and are profitable. Timeshare attorneys mention that such sellers put out false claims that more people buy timeshares and they yield great returns from it.

Little to no Track Record:

The goal of any fraudulent company is to grab as much money as possible from people’s pockets at the earliest, which is why they don’t stay for long. Timeshare attorneys warn that if a company you are dealing with claims to be highly reputable and backed by a superior track record, think twice before closing a deal with them.

Susan Budowski provided excellent service in every respect. She listened carefully to our problem with a difficult timeshare corporation. She gave us an accurate assessment of our case & cautioned us that she could not *guarantee* success. After that, she never flagged in her attentive and active pursuit of justice for us. AND SHE WON!! We received a full refund for what was due to us. Let me repeat: she listened actively. She was patient and listened to my emotional state over the situation. When she didn’t understand something, she said so and communicated until she did understand. She was fully intellectually engaged. She is a woman who is fully committed to justice and rights of the individual in relation to a large corporation. She provided us with great representation. I recommend her highly.
